House of the Rising SonThere is a house in New OrleansThey call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one My mother was a tailorest She sewed my new bluejeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time that he's satisfied Is when he's down and drunk So mothers tell, tell your children Not to do what I have done ...aahoooo Not to spend there lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun I got one foot on the platform And another on the train I'm goin' now to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one |
